OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation on the motor function of patients with Parkinson's disease,and to compare the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation at different targets on the motor function of patients with Parkinson's disease,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the target selection of transcranial direct current stimulation in clinical practice. METHODS:Cochrane Library,PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,VIP,WanFang Data were retrieved for randomized controlled trials on the improvement of motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease by transcranial direct current stimulation published from the database inception to January 2023.The keywords were"Parkinson,transcranial direct current stimulation"in English and Chinese.The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane 5.1.0 risk of bias assessment tool and the PEDro scale.Meta-analysis of outcome indicators was performed using RevMan 5.4 and Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS:Fifteen randomized controlled trials were finally included,and the PEDro scale showed that all were high-quality or very high-quality studies.Meta-analysis showed that transcranial direct current stimulation significantly improved Unified-Parkinson Disease Rating Scale part III score[mean difference(MD)=-2.49,95%confidence interval(CI):-4.42 to-0.55,P<0.05),step frequency score(MD=0.07,95%CI:0.03-0.11,P<0.05)and step speed score(MD=0.02,95%CI:0.00-0.05,P<0.05),but not for Berg Balance Scale scores(MD=2.57,95%CI:-0.74 to 5.87,P>0.05).Network Meta-analysis probability ranking:In terms of Unified-Parkinson Disease Rating Scale part III scores,the probability ranking results of target stimulation efficacy were dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex(52.4%)>primary motor cortex(45.8%)>central point of the brain(1.8%)>conventional rehabilitation(0%);in terms of gait frequency scores,the probability probability ranking results of target stimulation efficacy were cerebellum(50.1%)>central point of the brain(45.8%)>dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex(3.9%)>primary motor cortex(0.2%)>conventional rehabilitation(0%);in terms of gait speed scores,the probability ranking results of target stimulation efficacy were cerebellum(64.8%)>dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex(23.8%)>central point of the brain(9.4%)>primary motor cortex(1.7%)>conventional rehabilitation(0.4%);in terms of Berg Balance Scale scores,the probability ranking results of target stimulation efficacy were cerebellum(77.4%)>dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex(20.7%)>central point of the brain(0.7%)>conventional rehabilitation(0.2%). CONCLUSION:Transcranial direct current stimulation significantly improves motor function of patients with Parkinson's disease,with better motor coordination in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and better walking and balance in the cerebellum.

BACKGROUND:With social progress,the incidence rate of knee osteoarthritis is getting higher and higher in the face of the rapidly developing aging problem in the social population,and the number of total knee replacement operations is gradually increasing. OBJECTIVE:To study the relationship between prosthesis size and stress shielding by improving the tibial prosthesis base. METHODS:A female patient with severe knee osteoarthritis was selected.Based on Mimics,through extracting the bone structure of the knee joint and simulating the total knee replacement surgery,osteotomy,positioning,and implantation operations were carried out to establish the geometric modeling of the total knee replacement prosthesis(including the femoral prosthesis,tibial bracket,and tibial pad),and improve the design of the tibial prosthesis base,analyze the effect of different tibial prosthesis bases on stress shielding of surrounding bone tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with single-stem tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis,the design of four-post tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis created a certain degree of stress shielding around the short stem.However,compared with a thicker single long stem,this stress shielding effect was significantly reduced,and the load was evenly distributed among the four short stems,so there was no stress concentration at the bottom of the pile.(2)The design with a rectangular hole in the middle not only provided relatively good stability,but also helped to reduce stress shielding of cancellous bone to a certain extent,with a reduction rate of 77.5%.(3)Compared with a single-stem tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis,both the four-post tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis and the four-post tibial intramedullary stem prosthesis with a hole in the middle have good stability,which can reduce stress shielding to a certain extent without causing stress concentration,providing theoretical guidance for the design of the tibial intramedullary stem.

In order to understand the infection and molecular genetic characteristics of goose astro-virus(GAstV)in Hotan,Xinjiang,visceral organs and swabs of dead goslings were collected asep-tically from three goose farms in Hotan,Yutian and Pashan counties,and GAstV was detected by RT-PCR.The positive samples were screened and identified in LMH cells,and the whole genome was sequenced,and the genetic characteristics of the isolates were analyzed.The results showed that the total positive rate of GAstV was 11.25%(65/578).Two strains of GAstV named as GAstV/XJHT-1 and GAstV/XJHT-2 were isolated and the lengths of their genome sequences were determined as 7 190 bp and 7 125 bp,respectively.Whole genome homology analysis showed that the homology of the two isolates with GAstV-1 and GAstV-2 was higher than 95%,and the homology with other sources(chicken,duck,and turkey)ranged from 54.1%to 61.5%.Genetic e-volution analysis showed that the genetic distance between GAstV isolates from Henan and Anhui was relatively close,suggesting that the isolated GAstV may be related to the introduction of gos-lings or goose eggs from these two places.The findings provide a basis for further development of vaccines or control products.

Klebsiella pneumoniae(KPn),as a conditioned pathogen that causes calf pneumonia,has caused serious harm to cattle industry,but the harm of Klebsiella pneumoniae to calves in Xin-jiang region is still unclear.In this study,to investigate the prevalence of KPn,its harm and some biological characteristics of pneumonia calves in Xinjiang,nasal swabs of pneumonia calves in some areas were collected aseptically,KPn isolation and identification were performed by routine meth-od,and 16S rDNA sequence evolutionary tree analysis was performed.The drug resistance was de-tected by K-B method,and a strain carrying multiple virulence was selected for mice median lethal dose test.The serotype,virulence gene and drug resistance gene of the strain were detected by PCR.The results showed that the detection rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae in nasal swabs of 218 pneumonia calves from Aksu,Changji and Yili regions of Xinjiang was as follows:14.68%(32/218),including 28.33%(17/60)in Aksu Prefecture,24.00%(6/25)in Changji Prefecture and 6.77%(9/133)in Yili Prefecture,they were divided into two serotypes,namely K1(7/32)and K5(5/32).A total of 13 KPn virulence genes were detected,mainly mrkD,ureA,wabG,uge and en-tB.LD50 was 2.38X 107cfu/mL.Drug susceptibility test and drug resistance gene detection showed that the isolated strain showed multiple drug resistance,and the resistance genes mainly carried blasHv and floR.16S rDNA sequence evolutionary tree results showed that the isolated strain had high homology with the isolates from Italy,Beijing and Shanghai of China.The detection rate of KPn in nasal swabs of pneumonia calves in Xinjiang region is high.The dominant serotypes are K1 and K5.The isolates carry a variety of virulence genes and have strong virulence.All of them are KPn strains producing ESBLs,suggesting that Klebsiella pneumoniae in Xinjiang region of China have a certain potential harm to calves.
